From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050308 Firefox/1.0.1 Fedora/1.0.1-5 Description of problem: After doing "yum install tomcat5" then "/etc/init.d/tomcat5 start" tomcat5 is running. But connecting to http://localhost:8080 just returns a blank page. It would be better to either install a default page that simply says "if you see this page, Tomcat is running" or make tomcat5 depend on tomcat5-webapps which does install a page like this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tomcat5-5.0.30-1jpp_2fc How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install tomcat5 2. /etc/init.d/tomcat5 start 3. surf to http://localhost:8080 Actual Results: blank page Expected Results: test page confirming that tomcat works Additional info: Workaround: "yum install tomcat5-webapps"
Yes, providing a default test page (that perhaps mention the webapps subpackage) is an idea that I like. But you should suggest that usptream so that J. C. fixes the jpackage.org package. As soom as he does that I will import the fix into ours.
I suggested this idea upstream but Jason Corley was strongly against the idea: > Absolutely not. I don't want a default test page on my server > installs, that's what I'll be deploying. I'm a strong -1 on this > idea. > Jason Closing as WONTFIX.
